New Report Decries Dearth of Black Coaches in Football and Basketball.
Naughton, Jim
Chronicle of Higher Education, v44 n26 pA45-A46 Mar 6 1998
A new study shows the percentage of black coaches of big-time basketball and football teams lags far behind both the percentage of black athletes on those teams and the percentage of head coaches in professional leagues for those sports. Some feel racial attitudes, a strong old-boy network, and black coaches' low profiles are barriers to hiring black coaches. (MSE)
